Reader Royale with Cheese has a sharp-looking flat desktop that you might think is OS X at first glance, but you'd be wrong. It's actually Fedora 20, and it's smooth as butter. Here's how he set it up.

Royale with Cheese submitted his desktop to our Desktop Showcase, which is what you should do if you want to see it featured here. All you have to do is post a screenshot to your Kinja blog (the one that came with your commenter account), and include links to the wallpaper, widgets, skins, and tools you used to customize it.

Royale with Cheese's linux desktop owes a lot to a single theme suite, which is worth taking a look at if it works with your favorite distro. Here's what you'll need to get yours looking like this:

A mix of GNOME extensions to add monitors and tools to his desktop, including Weather, Frippery Move Clock/Move-Clock, Activities Configurator, all of which are available here.

There's no reason you have to have Fedora to make all of this work, but you should check for compatibility and any requirements involved before heading down this road. Still, we're really impressed with what you can do with Numix, and would love to see what you can do with it, too! If you have any questions about the packages or how Royale with Cheese got it all working, head over to his Kinja blog and leave him a comment. Make sure to let him know you like his work, while you're at it!
